CHAPTER THREE

Ruby looked around her new residence as he dragged her inside.

Crimson moon pack looked nothing like her former pack.

"Sorry if this doesn't suit your luxury taste princess. Your darling father burnt our former home." Dante told her.

Ruby ignored him and looked around looking for possible escape routes.

"Its good you are looking around, this might be the last time you ever see the sun." Dante told her.

She looked at him in shock. "You can't possible be serious about keeping me prisoner for the rest of my life."

"I am."

"Keep the weapons we got in the armory. Keep the food items in the pantry, distribute the clothes and jewelry to the pack members and among yourselves." Dante ordered.

"Yes Alpha."

He dragged her to a large building and opened the door. A woman stood inside, she looked stunning. She kissed him on the cheek as soon as he entered the house.

"How are you Irene?" he asked with a broad smile on his face.

"better now that you are back." she replied.

Ruby watched on in jealousy as they talked, was this woman his lover? She then chided herself for being jealous over the bastard.

Irene looked at Ruby curiously. "who is this?" she asked.

"It's our new prisoner. She is Alpha Terrence Daughter." Dante replied.

"I thought you were going to kill everyone, why is she still alive?" she asked.

"I decided to bring her back." Dante replied.

"Why? She is beautiful but there are other beautiful ladies here" Irene asked.

Ruby scoffed inwardly. "we will discuss later Irene." Dante told her.

He dragged Ruby along with him down stairs to an inner room.

He unlocked the door and pushed her inside. Dante locked the door.

Ruby looked around, this was an underground prison. He really meant to keep her here for the rest of her life. She clenched her fists, she had to escape, she needed to get away from this place.

"Don't even think about escaping. Everybody in this pack hates you, no one will help you. They might even kill you before notifying me that you have escaped." Dante told her. Ruby looked at his face and knew that he wasn't joking at all.

"I will bring you food and water every day when I can't come, Irene will be the one to attend to you."

"is she your lover?" Ruby asked.

"Why? Are you jealous?" he fired back.

"just curious."

"I would advise you on one thing, don't make the mistake of falling in love with me."

"Don't worry, I will never do that. I hate you."

"the feeling is mutual princess." he replied.

Dante turned around and left the room. Ruby slid to the ground. Everything dawned on her, her parents were dead, her pack members were dead and her home was destroyed. She was the only surviving member of Crystal blood pack.

She started to cry, loud wrenching sobs that echoed in the silent room, she had to have her revenge, she promised herself.

She had to kill Dante, she knew that killing her mate meant that she would die as well. Werewolves were forbidden from killing their mates, doing such was paramount to suicide because the perpetrator would die as well.

But Ruby was ready to take the risk that came with this, she was ready to die as long as she would have her revenge.

For now, she would bide her time and wait for the right opportunity and time to kill him.

Dante went upstairs, Irene was waiting for him with a deep scowl on her face.

"So?" she questioned.

"Can I get something to eat before you start your grilling interrogation?" Dante asked.

She pointed at the dining table, his food was on the table.

"Thanks Irene." he said gratefully.

"Eat up and stop talking."

"yes ma'am."

Irene sat beside him and waited for him to finish eating so he could answer her questions.
